by winning sixteen straight games and

Pittsburg, Washington and indianapolis
bring up the tail end of the procession.
Detroit played IA of the 126 games on
the schedule and won the general series
from every Opposing club except Chica-
go. Philadelphia played 123 games,

opposing team except Pittsburg. In the
spring Pittsburg kept Chicago out of the
lead, and in the fall knocked her off
second place. New York played 1913
games, losing the general series to De.
troit, Philadelphia and Chicago, and
winning from Boston, Pittsburg, Wash
ington and Indianapolis. During the
whole race the Detroit club was never

There are three great problems
which are now uppermo t in the minds
of all reading people, and which must
enter, whether unbidden or not, the
politics of the country and the halls of
legislation. These are, as Senator
Evarts, of New York, we'll remarks,
Labor, temperance and taxation"
Twenty-Five years ago neither of these
were distinctly set forth in political
platforms, except taxation, which was
presented in the form of tariff. Since
the organization of the government,
but little attention until of late was
given to labor legislation; that inter
est was thought able to take care of it.
self. But it has now become an i'm
portant factor in politics, and every
party platform in future will suggest
some legislation on the subject of labor.
The discussion on the rights of labor is
in progress, and will not down. The
question of disposing of and regulating
the sale in Intoxicating liquors has
been ignored by political conventions
OF both the great parties, except allu
sions to it in a harmless and molten
sive way. But the sentiment of the
people has become SC determined and
outspoken against the evils of the liq.
uor traffic that il cannot longer be
ignored by legislative bodies. Politi-
cal conventions cannot afford to adopt
evasive and meaningless resolutions on
this subject, but language to the point |
will be expected. As it respects
revenue taxation, it will be one of the |
live questions of the day, but not strict, |
ly partisan. 1t may be understood as
admitted, that labor, temperance and |
taxation will at least for time be the |
chief and most important topic before |
the people.

THE OLD AND NEW THEOLOGY.

AS a matter of news, to satisfy some
readers, the TELEGRAPH has several
times referred to the progress of the
new theology, as it is called The re-
cent general convention of the Con.
gregational churches at Springfield,
Mass, had been looked forward to
with great interest, as endangering the
harmony of the denomination. The
convention which met at Des Moines
a year ago passed resolution declar-
ing that certain tendencies of the doc
triDe OF future probation for the
heather after death, who had never
heard of Saviour. was calculated to
excite apprehension. The doctrine for
q future probation for the heather
who have been shut out of the light of
the gospel has been growing. There
has been concerted effort, it is said,
to secure a decisive majority in the
last weeks convention. at Springfield
to suppress the new theologists. The
Inter Ocean, which keeps as well post
ed in religious controversies as any
secular paper in the country, says:
The strong conservative controver-
sialists have been for a whole year
arming for the contest" Therefore il,
is not strange the future probationists
were in the minority by vote of SO to
81. Some of the votes taken in the
convention were by no means calcu-
lated to secure harmony; the minority
complain that there has been irregu-
larities in the appointment of mission
aries for foreign lands, and asked for
a committee to investigate the facts
the majority refused to grant such a
hearing. The denial of reasonable
requests lead to still greater estrange-
ments. We forbear noticing other
complaints, as il is not the province Of
this paper. 1t may be mentioned as
current events that we'll known clergy
men of Boston and other cities used
strong language in their pulpits last
Sunday in disapproval of the action of
the convention. II

CLEVELAND CAME AND WENT.

CLEVELAND CAME AND WENT.
The tour of Grover Cleveland and
wife through this state and the north
west. wherever he travelled, was con-
tinual ovation. 1t i'll becomes the
American to ridicule the subservience
of the people of foreign countries to
kingly powers. The passion for honor
ing and obsequiously bowling to an
American high official is as strong here
as in any civilized country of Europe.
Thousands on thousands crowd and
jostle against each other to get only a
glimpse at Mr.. Cleveland, and many
would pay liberal sums to see his wife
on exhibition. 1t cannot be denied that
Mr.. Cleveland is entitled to as much
public respect and attention as any
other distinguished man, no matter of
what political party. But the question
is not answered, what is the secret of
his drawing powerp Is it because he
excels in craftsmanship! Is it because
he is profound constitutional lawyer.

1t was very natural that the Metho-
dist friends in this city should feel
much disappointed that the conference
did not re-appoint Rev. F. s. Stein for
another year to this church. He has
done nobly in building up the church !;
his congregation was united in him;
and he had won the respect of the.
other Protestant churches. But a
change of ministers is incide nt to the
system, and tie constituted authorities
of the church presume to judge what
is best for the general interest. The
new incoming pastor, we believe, is a
stranger here, and it is hoped he will
fill the place assigned him with accept
ance.

briefly sketching our city officials,
while discharging their duties, would
be acceptable. It would be more par
ticularly interesting from the fact that
in no previous year have the citizens

of the Council as the present one.
Perhaps some one will furnish the sug-
gestive sketch.

seize upon them to weave into dis

The people of Utah have been as
sembled in convention by delegates,
and framed IA constitution, ready to be
submitted for adoption. The Mormons,
it appears, were about the only parti-
cipants in the convention. Some per-
sons say if the constitution formu Hated
is free from objection, and in harmony
with state constitutions generally, and
the territory has the requisite number
of inhabitants, why should not Utah
be received into the Union? Congress
will be slow to admit Utah. The Nor
mon population has not the reputation
of being law-respecting when it con-
hicts with their polygamous propen-
stiles. When Utah becomes invested
with independent state government it
will no longer be under the control of
the United States in its domestic in
stitutions. State constitutions do not
guard against all the Villainies legis-
latures may see fit to enact. Take for
example the legislature of the state of
Georgia, which in one house not long
since passed an act, imposing heavy
fine and two years at work in the chain
gang for teaching colored scholar in
a white school, and the same penalty
for teaching a white scholar i'll color
ed school. Other states have enacted
nearly or quite as infamous laws as
that referred to, under constitutions
that read creditably. Release Utah
from its territorial allegiance, permit
1t to regulate its own institutions, and
consequences might follow disreput-
able to the whole country. When Utah
assumes state sovereignty, it will be
no longer comfortable by the United
States, except in the matter of chattel
slavery.

Another terrible railway catastrophe
occurred on the Chihgo and Atlantic
road on Monday night The train left
Chicago at 7:25 P. M. for New York,
and was filled with passengers. An
eccentric strap broke and stop was
made at the water tank at Kouts, Ind,
to repair it. About minute after a
fast meat express, which had followed
close after the passenger express, crashed
into the passenger train, completely
smashing the cars. The wreck quickly
took fire, and several passengers were
burned up in the ruins, The number
of lives lost is placed at from nine to
thirty. The number of injured is about
twenty. The scenes at the wreck were
heart.rending. In one place three
women were together, and those outside
who tried to get them out were driven
off by the flames, and they had to be
left to their sad fate. The collision is
said to be due to criminal careless
ness.

Gen. CaffareI,s Case.

PARIS, Oct. I3.-The council of n
erals, which was appointed for the pur-
pose of trying General Cafarel on the
charges preferred against him of selling
civil decorations, has pronounced the &C.
cused guilty of habitual dishonorable mis-
conduct. 1t was decided by the council
to place Caffarel on the retired list of the
army. A decree for the execution of the
decision wall be submitted by Gen. Ferron,
minister of war, to President Grevy for
his signature.
Gen. Ferron telegraphed to Gen. Boul-
anger at Mount Lucon ordering him to
return forthwith to Clermont Ferrand.
his headquarters, and asking if the words
attributed to HIM by the newspapers in
connection with the Caffarel affair was
correctly reported.
The newspapers alleged that Boulanger
informed a reporter that he never doubted
but that the prosecution OF Gen. Caffarel
was aimed at himself.
He stated that he defed the most min
ute inquiry into his conduct, and said that
if he had been minister of war and Gen.
Cafarel had avowed his guilt to him, he
would have offered him a revolver with
which to blow his brains out. Gen.
Boulanger, in reply to Gen. Ferron's tel
egram, said: 81 have returned to Cler-
mont Ferrand. / am unable to procure
newspapers mentioned. Send them to
me-"
Gen. Caffarel will be deprived of his
decoration of the Legion of Honor, and
his pension, granted for t%hIrty-nine years
service in the army, will be reduced from
5000 to 4, 900 francs.
Gen. Ferron has sent another telegram
to Boulanger, demanding a categorical
reply to the charges against him.
